As they are bagging the case in a black bag like porn the Indian guy next in line is told he cannot buy his two bottles of whiskey. The guy politely returns the bottles to the shelf and walks out the door behind me.
I stopped and talked to him:
Me: What was that all about?
Him: They won't let me buy because I don't have a liquor card.
Me: What? I've never had a liquor card. Why wouldn't they sell to you? Oh sorry, that was a stupid question.
He went on to explain that he wanted the alcohol to drink with friends who lost their jobs and are returning to India tomorrow. (Doesn't that beat any story you've ever heard from a college kid who tried to get you to buy for them?) I did my absolut best to help him.
hmmm... you weren't duped were you. It's like when someone asks you for a few bucks or a ride because their car broke down just up the road.
ReplyDeleteI think you left off the "e" on absolute. Oh wait....
